Dear colleague, We are pleased to invite you to this symposium on facial palsy management and organisation of care. Although facial palsy is not a life-threatening condition, its impact on the patient’s quality of life should not be underestimated. Rehabilitation is often challenging and involves a multidisciplinary team. Dr. Charles Nduka –, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon focused on facial reanimation following facial paralysis. Besides his surgical practice, which is based in the Royal Victoria Hospital, East Grinstead, Dr. Charles Nduka is also Honorary Senior Lecturer at Imperial College London where he researches techniques to improve outcomes in plastic surgery of the face.
We look forward to welcoming you to this symposium!
Kind regards,
prof. dr. Vincent Van Rompaey & prof. dr. Paul Van de Heyning On behalf of the UZA Facial palsy team
